- Reflecting on my #phd journey tonight! I am so grateful to a group of amazing people, my advisor Max, my TAC members, examiners, collaborators, and my people whom I miss so much!! 6 months ago we celebrated a personal mileston!! Thanks to all who made it possible!
- Anyone in here who applied for the @embo.org #postdoctoral #fellowship and could share some information/tips!? I would be really grateful for any insights!! 😁🤩 @phdvoice.bsky.social #phdlife #postdoclife

- Reposted by Aris PapargyriouApplications are now open for the @cruk-cityoflondon.bsky.social Black Leaders in Cancer PhD Programme. If you are interested in our project ‘Reprogramming Plasticity in Colorectal Cancer’ feel free to get in touch! www.colcc.ac.uk/2026-blic-ph...
- When you pack the last 7 years of memories with the most beautiful people and leave 🇩🇪 🥹🥰 Auf Wiedersehen Munich, I will miss you all! To new adventures 🤩

- Very happy to see the June cover of natBME featuring our paper on branched #organoids to capture pancreatic cancer heterogeneity! Thanks to @maxreichertmd.bsky.social @tum.de and our amazing team!! Thanks to @ella-maru.bsky.social for the cover design! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Aris PapargyriouJune, a reminder of the importance of visibility, inclusion, solidarity. Let's uplift each other + stand up for equity—not just in words, but in action! The Meshwork will always celebrate LGBTQ+ voices. Have a story/lab initiative/scientist to spotlight? We’d love to hear/share!

- Reposted by Aris PapargyriouDid you know cancer cells can be electrically active, just like neurons? This electrical activity plays a key role in tumor progression. Excited to share my first postdoc paper at @crick.ac.uk (and first paper from Leanne Li lab), published in @natureportfolio.nature.com!
- Reposted by Aris PapargyriouVery happy to see our review out in @natrevmcb.bsky.social! Here we discuss how stem cells exert forces to sculpt tissues in development and homeostasis, and how stem cell mechanics go awry upon malignant transformation. Read it here 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Let's make a project studying systematically the physics of that sauce". Prepare to get cheesy, I'm glad to share the Cacio e paper preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2501.00536

- Want to 👀 real phenotypic differences in #PDAC epithelial and mesenchymal #organoids ? @maxreichertmd.bsky.social Check these cool videos we made for our new paper 🤩✌️ @natureportfolio.bsky.social 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 👉 rdcu.be/d3qyD
- I am so excited to share the biggest (and best) part of my #PhD in @maxreichertmd.bsky.social lab We show how inter/intra-tumoral #heterogeneity impacts plasticity and treatment resistance by using #PDAC #organoids @natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- I think it’s about time to add another one (better this time 🤣) on my collection!! Stay tuned for nexts weeks announcement from the final chapter of my #PhD work at Max Reichert’s lab and the TU Munich!! #organoids #morphogenesis #plasticity #treatmentresistance #pancreatic #cancer
